🖥️ How to turn off auto open in apps settings on Arc Browser?
🧑💻 techWe have seen pop ups like this when we click on an Apple App store link using the Arc browser (also in other browsers):
If, like me, you clicked on Always open "App Store", Arc will open all Apple App Store links in the App store. This may be exactly what you want to happen. However, in my case, I prefer to stay in Arc as opposed to opening another app.
If you run the following command in terminal, you will see all the links that are setup to "always open":
defaults read company.thebrowser.Browser arcAlwaysAllowedLinkToSchemesPerSite
To clear this setting, enter the following command in terminal:
defaults remove company.thebrowser.Browser arcAlwaysAllowedLinkToSchemesPerSite
Note: doing the above will only clear the Always Open
settings, so next time, Arc will ask you if you want to open the
link in their respective app. Clicking cancel at this point will keep
you in the Arc browser.
This is the best workaround I have found thus far.
